To be a Lavender bird, both parents must have the Lav gene. If the parents did not have the Lav gene, I would say you have a splash or a very pale blue. You can not get Lavender from Blue, Black, Splash (unless they are split to lavender).

Exactly. With a splash sire, then that just throws Lavender out of the ballpark. She can look that way, though.

9farmgirl9, The Warden has 3 Emus. They will get huge!

Well, I doubt that you can call her any color. She is most likely a mutt. Do you keep recordings of your matings?

Lavender has light feather shafts on the outside and dark on the inside.
